Pranam As recd extracted: "*Moral of the story:* *Let us ask ourselves the following question:* How many of us have ever done something like Ronaldo and Alberto?* On the contrary, many of us do the opposite of this story showing selfishness and ingratitude to our mates.*
*However, when we help each other and are proud of the success of our brothers / sisters / friends / relatives, we feel great. And when we help a person succeed, he must never forget those who contributed to his success. In our life too, there might have been such occasions when we were helped, encouraged, inspired by someone known or otherwise. The person who did that for us, might have forgotten but we should never.* *Develop an Attitude of Gratitude for God, Parents, Friends, Society and this country* *which has given us so much when we needed most. We must always look to repay that debt.* *And above all, we should never forget that the almighty is watching and judging us. And when He sees us helping each other with what we have, of course, received by His Grace, He sends more. Football career of Ronaldo is one example we should always remember to GIVE."--Mr Ravi Mahajan.
